If your TV gets pixelated when action is going too fast, it being LCD or PLASMA has nothing to do with it. It is the COMPRESSION of the signal that sucks. If the broadcaster can't compress the signal fast enough, or if your TV or Set top box can't DECOMPRESS the signal, or if there's not enough data in that particular moment of video, Thats when you get pixelation. Geeze. Or if your favorite station is a cheap-ass and they overcompress the signal (Thank you, SPACE! You fucking suck!) then you will get an ugly, muddy picture. Nothing to do with your TV at all there, Vern!

Anyway, if you want a cheap TV, Buy an LCD or plasma. Both are good, and you won't go wrong with either one. End of story.

BUT, if you want the Latest and greatest, DON'T BUY now. Wait a few months. There is lots of cool technology coming out right now which should hit your stores any day, like 120Hz TV's. 1 Million to 1 Contrast Ratios. True OLED TV's (instead of the current crop that use OLED's for backlights, or the older pile that use fluorescent backlights).

The BEST TV is the BEST TV FOR YOU, period. Buy the sexiest unit you can afford, and back it up with an all digital extras like a Blu Ray player, HD Satelite, Digital Sound with Dolby 7.1, DTS and THX. Use all HDMI Cable. Don't waste your money on that Monster Cable bullshit. ESPECIALLY don't waste your money on "power conditioners that extend the life of your equipment". Instead, spend extra money to get some good sound (100 Watts RMS x 7 is great for most rooms, 300 Watts RMS x 7 kicks ass). Don't forget a good quality sub-woofer.

Bring it all home, kick your wife out of the house, hook it all up yourself then watch THE DARK KNIGHT with your buddies. You'll be in theatre-tech couch potato heaven.
